Know the past, understand the present
The study of the past teaches you to use evidence to explain historical change and make sense of the present. You’ll learn to write well, conduct sophisticated research, and synthesize information into coherent oral and written arguments. Education coursework and clinical experiences prepare BSEd students to become highly-qualified teachers as well as reflective decision makers.
Learning in action
Our students learn in and out of the classroom. A variety of internships, conference opportunities, local museum work, and oral history projects place you in the community to build a portfolio of lifelong skills. You can also join our student-run League of Social Science or the Alpha Xi Xi chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society.
